Memorex TravelDrive 1G?

Question

I got this item for my birthday and I want to use it exclusively for mp3 storage. I will be getting an adapter that runs off the cig lighter in my car and sends the music through my FM radio signal.

Anyway, as I said it is 1G and there is understandably a little space taken up for the tutorial etc, and then there are some security programs, etc to use for more important data than I will need to protect. First, I would like to know if I can delete anything off the systems files re: theses features of the drive because I will not be using them.

Actually, the cut and paste process is coming up rather short. I had a nice folder set up from my tower with 843MB of music files on it, well within what the properties showed was available. I wanted it all to go on the traveldrive. It started to move the files, and then with about 1/3 of the songs left to move, and 357MB left on the traveldrive to fill up, it said the drive was full and couldn't move anymore music. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

try formatting the drive.
THIS OPTION WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF OF IT!
so please take caution in this process. & back everything up before hand

i will walk you through it.

1) click start.
2) open all programs
3) open accesories
4) click on "command prompt"
5) type "format X:"
(where "x" is the drive letter for the flash device.)
it will ask if you are sure.
type "y" & click yes.
& it will show you the progress on your format.


let me know how it goes!

Answer 2

There is no reason why you cannot delete any programs on the drive you do not need. If your going to just use it for music, I would delete all the files on there first, then reformat it and just load on the MP3's.

If you intend to also store other files, its better to use a seperate flash drive for security reasons, in case you loose the drive, or leave it in the car and it gets stolen.
